Bookbinding Process (2/2): The Wolf Queen, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Leather Covering
I consulted pretty closely with my client on selecting a leather for this book, as I donāt maintain a stock of full hides, and instead exclusively buy industry remnants. I had some pieces that I could have patched together very nicely for the cover, but my client wasnāt a fan of the tone of the leathers. We almost decided on me buying a hide, but I ended up finding this chocolate brown nubuck from my stash.
Bookbinding Process (1/2): The Wolf Queen, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I have a very exciting comissionā Iām binding The Wolf Queen, an in-game novel from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Iāve never played the game, but my client told me they enjoy collecting and reading the books in the game. According to the Elder Scrolls wiki, there are apparently 820 of them! Iām binding the one of the longer stories, which is actually broken up into 8 volumes.
In researching, it seems that the volumes seem to take on completely different binding styles, but we agreed on the style shown here. We also decided to condense these volumes into 1 bookā the entire story is only about 12k words, and while the handwritten large text works well for reading the story on a small in-game window on your monitor, itās not really practical for a physical book. That, and even if I were to print these true to size for the game, each volume would still be about 40 pages, which only equates to 10 sheets of folded paper, so it wouldnāt make for a very robust collection on the shelf.
HxH manga rebinding! (vol. 1)
(project master post here)
Let me just start this off with that from my 7 years of experience bookbinding, a LOT went wrong with this project. Like, almost everything that could've went wrong. It is not to my usual standard of work, though I tried to make up for errors where I could.
Nonetheless, I'm doing this for practice and to document my progress, so here's how it went!

HxH Manga Rebind [Master Post]
I'm rebinding the Hunter X Hunter manga using fine bookbinding techniques! :D
This is a way for me to get back into bookbinding after uni, and a project space for me to explore new techniques and hone my craft without worrying about messing up client/for sale work.
I got the idea to start rebinding hxh after noticing that my modest collection (v1-6) somehow ended up with my brother... and thought it'd be funny to steal them back and rebind them, one-by-one, until they turned into a fine collector's edition of sorts.
HxH is by far my favorite series, so I really like the idea of doing something special to my set. It'll take a while, but I definitely will continue to buy v7 and onwards as I work my way through!
